lyrics

i’ve cast shadows
and i've cast doubt
won some giftbags and lost some bouts
maintained balance, maintained guilt
brought the blade up to the hilt

felt the grain with my cheek
thought a day but was a week
as i brushed along side it
lost my luck before i could hide it

let me let you see me see you light the fuse that burns right through you
let me see you hold that c4
let me hold you hold me hold you kiss the hands of those below you
let me see you light that c4
let me let you see me see you light the fuse that burns right through you
let me see you throw that c4

silence for the crickets
reststops for the wicked
breakfast for the desperate
flesh runs raw from the thickets

a little rest for the wicked
some relief for the thief
you can phrase your answer as a question
but for the love of god be brief

happenstance repudiation
cocktail hour invitations
glorified office donations
heart rate slowing, mind is racing

peace of mind and force of habit
i’m your threadcount, youre my fabric
built pyramids then pyramid schemes
not in my ancestors' wildest dreams

it’s the cascade and the spiral
it’s the crux and the viral
it’s the passion and the chase
it’s the voice put to a face

it’s the shoulders separating
which the crowd found fascinating
not so great at concentrating
but the best at second guessing

about

Family Fun

Family Fun is equal parts punk rock n' roll and nothing. A refreshingly haphazard, multi-lensed beast drawing upon influences musical, historical, comical, and sexual. Hardcore threaded with the theatrical, punk rock peppered with proud pop insensibilities, draws fervently from a gorge of culture and history whether it be Born Against, Dinosaur Jr., Agnostic Front, ELO, Iggy Pop, or Joan Rivers. ... more
